STYLE of penmanship hereditary.

A st. Paul man says that in noticing
the signatures of children of friends OF
his he is frequently startled by the close
relations of their penmanship to that OF
their parents. Inquiry does not demon
strate that the children have Intentionally
copied the handwriting of their sires, but
without intent have come into the same
pen peculiarities. In some instances the
difference between the two could scarcely
be distinguished. Chicago News

Truth on Board Shin

Truth is the foundation of honor, and
this is strikingly illustrated on the world
of waters. Every duty on board of ship
must BIO performed truthfully. The most
debased sailor that ever lived, if sent aloft
in dark and stormy night to inspect the
condition of sail or yard, would not dare
TO make false report. Again, if the
captain were on the forecastle and hailed
the man at the wheel how the ship headed,
he would implicitly believe the answer re-
ceived. Now for the result of this truth
fulness. We always have many millions
of property afloat, yet who ever hears of
crews running away with their ships or
embeZzling their cargoes? Look up and
down the lists of bankrupts ashore, and
how rarely or never do we see the names
of master marineS.-Boston Bulletin.

Old Time Oyster Stews.

''There are some marked changes in the
oyster business" remarked an old gentle
man to a reporter. twenty-five years
ago there was in vogue in the oyster
saloons what was called the individual
chafe.' You were allowed to stew your
own oysters. The proprietors brought to
the table after you were seated chatting
dish, an alcohol lamp, milk, oysters,
crackers, seasoning, ETC., and you pre-.
pared the stew to suit yourself. 1t may
not have been exceedingly profitable, but
it was popular. Night after night q
party of us would have our regular stew,
the privilege to make them ourselves
being quite an inducement. We would
have our oysters promptly, four chatting
dishes a-going at once. 1t would take
well to introduce Ibis method again. -

HEINe,s LEGEND DREAMS.
The ancient legends beckon

The ancient legends beckon
AS with magic hand,
And sing their wondrous stories
OF an enchanted land,
Where fairest flowers languish.
In the golden sunset tide,
And look with such tender glances
AS light the face Of bride.
Where all the trees are blending
Their songs in chorus sweet,
And gleeful springs make music
For merry dancing feet;
Where strains Of love keep sounding,
AS nowhere else are heard,
Until with wild, sweet longing,
The heart is wildly stirred.
All, could reach that country,
And there forget all pain,
And cease from every sorrow,
Be blithe and free againi
Ali in that land of gladness,
In dreams / often roam,
Then comes the morning sunlight
IT'S gone, like lightest foam.

Beware Of Catsups.

This Is the time for housekeepers to be
on the alert to meet receptions in factory
made catsups. Owing to the drought to-
matoes have been too dear for the average
consumer, and when winter comes you
will find the favorite tomato sauce miss
ing from the list of table condiments.
The factory made stuff seldom contains a
trace of tomatoes and is so highly favored
that the consumer never knows he is eat

always be recognized by the smell, as the
honest manufacturers will not try to dis
guise it.-Cook in Globe Democrat.

A PRIMITIVE SPRING BED.

After the burnt Offering mentioned
trunks and mattresses disappeared and,
most generally, tents were an unknown
luxury to the private soldier in the field
Here again necessity spurred on invention
and sort of iliputian tent was the re-
suit. Four stakes about two feet long,
with forks for cross pieces, were driven in
the ground. On these platform was
made by laying poles lengthwise, thus
making spring bed of no mean preten-
sions. About three feet above this was a
ridge pole, across which rubber or
wooden blanket was stretched tent fash
ion. A blanket laid ON the platform, ano
another for covering formed the tempo
rary couch of two men. They entered Oh
all fours ut the end, as a rat enters his
hole, but, unlike the rat, they did not
turn round to come out. This pretentious
style of housekeeping was only resorted
to in wet weather. Strict economy in the
matter Of labor was the rule among sol
diers, and the earth for a couch and the
sky for covering suficed in most cases.

to avoid sleeping on tie frozen ground.
The soldier would spread his blanket and
lie down until his und,srside fraterniZed

turn over and freeze the other side while
the first thawed out, ard so on though
the night.

THE WAR In DIXIE.
A CONFEDERATE COLONEL GIVES
SOME WAR TIME EXPERIENCES.


A Burnt Offering of Surplus Baggage.
Novel Methods of Preparing a Dinner.
A Primitive Spring Bed-An Icy Couch.
A Predestinarian.
In the spring Of 1862 our patres con-
script had evidently become convinced
that the contest was likely to be both seri-
GUS and long, and volunteers for three
years or the war were called for Soon
after this was at Corinth, Miss, as cap
tain OF company in the Thirty-eighth
Mississippi regiment. Ihad provided my
self with an ample supply of bedding, in
Guiding mattress, and took along trunk
containing some elegant citizens clothing
for dress or social occasions. One day our
quartermaster requested us to send all
baggage to the depot for convenience of
transportation in case of retreatn This
was thoughtful Of him and felt grateful,
but not for long. In Q few hours it trans
PRED that our luggage was not to be
checked through, but was to be burned.
1t began to dawn upon me that had been
somewhat stupid in my military prepara-
tions, but when rushed off to the depot
and found several acres of similar impedi-
ments piled up for burnt offering felt
somewhat relieved. 1t was clear that my
ears were no longer than my neighbors'.
That night Corinth was evacuated. The
measles, disease very fatal to soldiers,
had already appeared in camp and the eX-
posture Of this retreat resulted in the death
OF dfty-niue men in my company of 100.
The regiment had been hurried to the
front before submitting to the hardening
process Of a camp of instruction, through
the ambitious vanity of its colonel, who
was in haste to win a brigadier's wreath.
1t occasioned no surprise that the lean
Jack Falstaf ran away from our first
serious fight at Iuka and we saw him no
more. On this retreat a feat was per-
formed in culinary way that could not
be excelled. Being separated from our
trains and having little knowledge of the
need OF being always prepared for sudden
movements, there was neither pot nor pan
to be found in the company.
In spite of these minor difficulties I
dined one day, by invitation, and, as 7
thought at the time, luxuriously, off, of
hot loaf bread and butter and broiled
tenderloin steak. Dinner was Or epared
in this way: A pit was dug somo twenty
inches square and one foot deem with 6
shoulder half ways down. In this pit dry
oak twigs were burned to embers.
clean handkerchief well Toured answered
for q tray and the loaf, whe, kneaded
was placed in the pit. This was covered
with bark and earth and tie oven wa.
perfect and complete. When the breaf
was done other sticks were made to d,
duty as griddle, and with the help of {
few necessities obtained from o farm
house the steak was broiled and seasoned
to turn.

L. Ice, has never held notable pub

when he arrived from England yesterday

there are interviews in the papers col

slider to account for Larry Jerome's prom
inence. No recent arrival has attracted
so much attention, Beside him the ST.
amese princes, the Duke of Marlborough,
Sir Lyon Playfair and all the other nobil-
tiles fade out of sight. Larry Jerome
dwarfs them all. The explanation is,
simple: He's a diner out and mighty
one at that. His presence at table in
sures the success of the entertainment.
Wherever he goes he is eagerly sought
after on account of his jollity, wit and
humor. I've known John w. Mackay
and Roscoe onkling to wander about the
uptown cafes for hours trying to find Je-
rome or Tom Ochiltree so as to carry them
off to dinner.

than these four gentlemen around the fes-
tive board it would be impossible to i'm
agine. I've seen them in the now defunct
Carleton club when even the walters were
impressed by the air of geniality and good
Fellowship that lowered over the table.
Ochiltree was benign, rotund, gloomy,
fiery and joyous; Mackay silent and
bright eyed, smiling with intense amuse-
ment; Conkling dignified, but duizzical
and bright, and Larry Jerorae amiable,
easy, quick as flash at repartee, brim-
ming over with infectious fun-in word,
